Mutare District is a district in Manicaland Province of eastern Zimbabwe. The district headquarters is the city of Mutare.
It is bounded on the east by Mozambique, on the northeast by Mutasa District, on the northwest by Makoni District, on the southwest by Buhera District, and on the southeast by Chimanimani District.
The city of Mutare is in the northeastern corner of the district, near the border with Mozambique. Mutare is the largest city in the district and the fourth-largest city in Zimbabwe. Other towns include Chiadzwa and Odzi.
The Eastern Highlands extend north and south through the eastern portion of the district, along the border with Mozambique. The Bvumba Mountains form a part of the highlands and rise southeast of Mutare city. The highest peak is Castle Beacon at 1,911 metres. The Bunga Forest Botanical Reserve conserves the mountains' high-elevation mist forest. Banti Forest Reserve (22.2 km²) is located south of Bvumba range, in the mountains along the Mozambican border.
Most of the district lies in the basin of the Save River, which forms the southwestern boundary of the district. The Odzi River, a tributary of the Save, drains the center of the district, flowing southwards to join the Save at the district's southernmost point. The Burma Valley, an area along the southeastern border with Mozambique on the eastern slope of the Bvumba mountains, drains eastwards into the Revué River, a tributary of the Buzi River.
